Printhie Mountain Range Sparkling Cuvée 2025 from Orange in NSW is a bright, fruit‑driven sparkling that sits as the playful little sister to the more serious Swift range, all about refreshment, balance and easy charm in the glass. Printhie Mountain Range Sparkling Cuvée 2025 leans on cool‑climate Chardonnay with a touch of Pinot Noir, delivering a modern, approachable style at a very friendly price.

In the glass it shows citrus, florals and white stone fruit, with a fine, attractive mousse and a gently creamy mouthfeel that remains fresh and lively rather than heavy or yeasty. Bright lemon and grapefruit, hints of blossom and just a whisper of stone‑fruit sweetness are kept neatly in line by a well‑judged sugar‑acid balance, making it more‑ish without ever feeling cloying.

Food‑wise, this is built for brunch – think smoked salmon, eggs Benedict or a platter of fresh fruit – and it also shines with canapés, soft cheeses and lazy Sunday afternoon grazing boards in the sun. Drink it young while that primary fruit is singing, and keep a few on hand as your go‑to, crowd‑pleasing sparkling for casual celebrations and spur‑of‑the‑moment toasts.
